Max Bemis of Say Anything has re-opened his custom song-writing store aka the controversial and more controversial "Song Shop" project. As originally set up, the "shop" allows fans to purchase custom-written songs via a merch store for $150.00.

Part of the controversy stemmed from some people's concerns about "for-hire" song-writing and the fact that the subject matter of songs was coming from paying customers rather than Max himself. Max himself responded to those accusations by arguing that detractors were simply "strange, slow and old."
